A hauntingly beautiful 'boneyard beach' of sun-bleached driftwood trees beside old plantation ruins.
Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve
- Dogs
- Dogs in part of it
Dogs are allowed across the 4,600 acres under voice control, but NOT on the causeway or the beach — which is the part everyone comes for. Grab a day pass at the kiosk. Closed Tuesdays and during scheduled hunts, and there is enough deer and turkey here that a dog with a poor recall will find them.
Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve offers visitors a chance to explore a truly unique landscape on Edisto Island. You can wander along its 'boneyard beach,' where sun-bleached driftwood trees create a dramatic scene, or explore the preserved ruins of an old Lowcountry plantation. This free preserve provides a memorable look into both natural beauty and local history.
